That's reason enough to distrust the review for me.

I can disassemble and then reassemble mine in about 10 seconds... it took
longer at first because I needed to whack the receiver with a mallet, but it
was still easy to do. My Buckmark gave me fits because the sight base screws
would refuse to let go. If I had them tight enough not to work themselves
loose, then they were near impossible to remove later for cleaning... I
stripped a couple.

I like both guns, but I can't figure out what all the fuss is over the ruger
disassembly/reassembly procedure.


Back on topic though, I have never read Gun Tests, is it available w/o
subscription?
